Lehigh Valley Business today named 45 eastern Pennsylvania companies to its Fastest Growing Companies list for 2018 – companies identified as the region’s most dynamic that have made significant contributions to the local economy.

The companies will be honored and their final rankings on the list disclosed at an awards breakfast and ceremony from 8-10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24, at DeSales University, Center Valley.

“We are pleased with the continued growth of the companies in the Greater Lehigh Valley,” said Mike O’Rourke, publisher of Lehigh Valley Business. “In our 2018 event, we have 10 new companies join the list, and we are looking forward to revealing the rankings on Oct. 24.”

To be eligible, companies had to be for profit-entities based in the Greater Lehigh Valley. They must have had annual revenue of at least $500,000 each of the past three years and an increase in revenue in 2017 when compared to 2015.

The awards program is presented by Baker Tilly, which calculated the list, and also sponsored by the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp.
